The judge of the recycling category in the Koestler competition last year praised an inmate who collected greeting cards, punched out six thousand dots, and then assembled these into a three-dimensional picture.

Outsider Art

"Those works created from solitude and from pure and authentic creative impulses - where the worries of competition, acclaim and social promotion do not interfere - are, because of these very facts, more precious than the productions of professions.

Place à l'incivisme (Make way for Incivism). Art and Text no.27 (December 1987 - February 1988). p.36
